google group permissions for Google Apps domain

Reply to a query from one of my colleagues, who had an issue with some users on a domain getting the message: "You only have read-only access to groups outside of your domain. Contact your domain administrator for more information."

(The actual domain names have been changed :)

Whoever is the admin for your whateveritwas.extension domain in Google Apps, has to enable access.

I believe that whateveritwas.extension was set as a domain alias for anotherdomain.com in Google Apps? I see an email thread where I suggested that this was a possibility. In that case, webmaster@anotherdomain.com would be the admin.

After logging on to webmaster@anotherdomain.com , go to the administrative console at
https://admin.google.com/Dashboard

According to this page,

"From the administrative console select the Organizations& Users tab, then click on Services. Scroll down to Google Groups and turn it on."
